...unfortunate that the global viewers had seen some horrific YouTube clips of street fighting in the Windy City...

"Come to Chicago -- We'll beat you to death with 2 x 4s"

I don't know about "beginning of the end," but there is a guy on Fox Special Report right now dissing him from the Washington Post.

Why can’t Chicago DO anything about these thug gangs.

I agree this is a lot of fun to watch.

But it really doesn’t affect the Baraqqi coalition of support.
Illegals, union members, dead people, and minorities don’t give a rip about the Olympics. Those groups will still turn out 97% for Baraq making him much more formidable than many here think.

Just like when the German tanks were bogged down at 40 below in Russia, the toughest fighting lies ahead.

I continue to find it impossible to imagine how Obama makes it through even his first term, much less gets re-elected to a second. I lived through the administrations of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, and abhorred both of them, but they both were at least minimally competent as presidents (OK, maybe a stretch for Carter).

What we have now, however, is incompetence on an epic scale abetted by the most incredible arrogance I have ever witnessed. The only thing that could save this administration now would be a dramatic shift toward the political center, and we all know that Obama's narcissism will never allow that.

Oh well, as others have said... pass the popcorn.

Little noticed amid the Olympics brouhaha, this week SCOTUS decided, against the wishes of Daley and the Chicago Establishment, to hear the NRA-backed case against the Fourth City’s gun ban. Not a good week for that crowd.

The brutal 2x4 murder can’t possibly help their arguments of needing a gun ban to keep down crime.
